Royal Shrove Tide Football

Ancient game of football played between ‘uppers’ and ‘downers’ depending on which side of the river you live. A hand made exquisitely painted leather ball is thrown up by a local or famous figure at 2.00pm each day from Ashbourne Shaw Croft car park.The game goes on until around 10.00pm in the evening. Goal posts are around 2 miles apart, at Sturston Mill and Clifton, anyone can play with hundreds in each team- no real rules, prepare to get wet. Great fun not to be missed.

Held on Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday each year.
